Greely Myatt's Wooden Cake Sculptures Look Good Enough to Eat

As we reach the end of Cake Week, it’s worth taking the time to appreciate the power of cake beyond its mere edibility. Cake is a symbol of joy, a dessert that lets you share and selfishly savor alike, portioned out by the free will of the cake cutter. And these wood and acrylic paint sculptures by Greely Myatt are a testament to the visual power of the cake–even though these slices are totally inedible, they still look good enough to tackle. Myatt is on the faculty at the University of Memphis, and you can see some more of his work here. We’ve got more of his cakes below.
